Paternity leave rules!

Yesterday morning when I got up I was really happy that I have my paternity leave now. I looked out of the bathroom window and noticed that the traffic was standing still, almost no moment at all, both on the sideways down at Alnabru and on the motorway. This due to the first snowfall this season and people still using summer tyres. How stupid can they be. Morten has also written something about it http://www.mknudsen.org/?p=245, linking to a news article as well.

Better be prepared, water alarm mounted

To get an early warning in case of a water leak I have mounted a water alarm underneath the kitchen sink today. The neighbour downstairs had an accident earlier this year, the pipe to the dish washer leaked, but luckily for him he was home and was able to stop the water from causing a disaster.

I bought it at Clas Ohlson, I guess Kent wish he had been able to join me when I was there, it is by far his favourite shop as I know ๐Ÿ™‚

Todays dinner

Just had to blog about the dinner I made today, mostly to remember the recipe myself for later. But also to tip you all, my reqular readers about this recipe. I must really recommend the tropical sauce.

First, the actual dinner, Pork Fillet, no rocket science

Rips = redcurrant. The measure SS = table spoon. TS = tea spoon. Stk = one piece.

Gigantic shopping cart

On Saturday I was doing communal work when my sports club, Sportsklubben Rye, had the yearly Rye-fest. My duty was to buy the beer for the dinner, 90 persons and 2 bottles each, I needed a very large shopping cart. OBS Lรธren to the rescue. The cart is almost as big as Espens Toyota Yaris.

Yesterday Espen and I was returning the empty bottles. Imagine how heavy the cart was when it was full of beer.

Which HDMI-cabel should you choose?

Without doubt the cheapest one. Kinda funny, TV2 Hjelper Deg did a test, and no one, not even the sales person from Hifi Klubben could spot any difference what so ever. Note that it also included a test by a professional consultant with the special equipment http://www.tv2underholdning.no/hjelperdeg/article2323104.ece

And we have still not even bought a flat-screen tv ๐Ÿ™‚

What is considered a valid ID?

When using the remote desktop-tool in Windows it says here in Norwegian that when I connect I will be asked for my id. I’m just wondering if my drivers license will be valid, or maybe I need my passport. Since I don’t have my passport with me, I guess that is the reason for the server not responding.

So much we do not need at all!

Microsoft patents speech censoring, why on earth would we need it, unless you are China or a dictator in some not-good-to-live-in-country. It is supposed to be possible to use it real time as well. As it is said in this article M$ even claims that the listener experience is supposed to be better when F-words are removed from music. Imagine Denis Leary’s Asshole with this filter enabled…”I’m just a regular Joe,… I like ****…., I’m an *******, he’s an ****, I **** on the seat…”

STUPID!!!!!
